The Cleveland Indians?could have to make do without one of their power hitters in Games 3-5 of the World Series in Chicago.?Indians manager Terry Francona will have to decide between?Mike Napoli?and?Carlos Santana?at first base, although Francona has?toyed with the idea of Santana playing outfield, per ESPNs Jerry Crasnick.If Francona makes a choice between Santana and Napoli, it would likely come down to batter versus pitcher matchups.?Right-handers Kyle Hendricks and John Lackey?take the mound for the Chicago Cubs in Games 3 and 4. Lefty Jon Lester is the probable starter for Game 5.?Napoli, the Indians primary first baseman, bats right-handed. He has had more success against right-handers when it comes to big hits, but is more consistent against lefties. He had a?.229/.322/ .471 line against right-handed pitchers during the regular season. Napoli had a better batting average (.262) and on-base percentage (.366) against lefties, but a worse slugging percentage (.451).Of Napolis at-bats during the regular season, 393 were against righties, compared to 164 versus left-handers. Napoli had 27 home runs against right-handers and seven against southpaws.Also worth noting: Napoli was a catcher on the 2013 Red Sox team, and Lester?was his teammate. Napoli has played in the postseason eight times, while Santana has this 2016 postseason and the 2013 wild-card game under his belt.Santana is typically the Indians designated hitter, but he can also play first base. He is a switch-hitter who primarily bats left-handed, taking 410 of his 572 at-bats on that side of the plate during the regular season. He batted .267/.374/.395 as a right-handed batter and .256/.347/.541 from the left side.From a power standpoint, Santana fares better in the left side of the box, from where he hit 30 of his 34 home runs.?Neither Santana nor Napoli has lived up to his regular-season reputation in the postseason.. Napoli is 7-for-34, batting .206/.289/ .382/ ?with a homer, three doubles and two RBIs. Santana is hitting .143/.250/.314. He also has two RBIs, coming from two home runs.Who should start the most at first base at Wrigley Field: Santana or Napoli?

Wholesale Vapormax 2019 . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Greg Schianos office is also set up to be a meeting room for Ohio States safeties. There are a couple of tables, eight chairs, and neatly set out at each spot is a binder with the weeks game plan.Schiano is three quarters of the way through his first college football season as an assistant coach since 2000. As defensive coordinator and associate head coach of the Buckeyes, Schiano is working for -- and learning from -- his good friend Urban Meyer, helping the Buckeyes contend for the College Football Playoff and adding to a resume that should be good enough to get him another head-coaching gig.Maybe.Schiano performed one of the great makeovers in college football history during an 11-year stint as Rutgers head coach. He took the Scarlet Knights to six bowl appearances after the school previously had made just one. But his two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers produced only 11 victories and complaints from players that he was heavy-handed and uncompromising as the team flailed. He was fired after the 2013 season. At a time when many schools are looking for the next big thing and coaches are defined by last season, there are some obstacles between Schiano and another stint in the big office.Any relationship is about fit. Ive had opportunities that just werent a fit for me to be a head coach. If and when the fit is right thats when Ill do it and the same for them, Schiano said. Some people are looking for a younger guy that doesnt have a whole bunch of experience, but is kind of catch the rising star so to speak. Where other people are looking for something else. Its the same for me. At this stage in my career, I dont need to be a head coach. Would I like to be? Yeah, I would like to be again someday.Schiano and Meyer have been friends for years. They have traded ideas and dropped in on each others programs. When Chris Ash left Ohio State to become head coach at Rutgers, coincidentally, Meyer talked Schiano into filling the opening.I have kind of gone back for a masters degree in coaching under someone Im very close with, said Schiano, who drew interest from both Southern Califoornia and Miami last year.ddddddddddddSchiano, who was defensive coordinator at Miami under Butch Davis before he went to Rutgers in 2001, said he understood he was not coming to Columbus to fix the Buckeyes defense. His focus has been more on attitude.What he did was try to add a little bit more swag to the defense, junior linebacker Chris Worley said. Not just thinking about making a good play but thinking about making a great play. Not just thinking about stopping teams, but becoming a smothering defense.The Buckeyes are currently third in the nation at 4.3 yards allowed per play.Schiano and Luke Fickell both hold the title of defensive coordinator at Ohio State. Meyer had to be confident the new guy could work well with the incumbent.Zero issues, Meyer said. I thought that would work out well. Its worked out even better than I thought.Schiano said Meyer is a genius when it comes to empowering assistant coaches and he hopes to take that to his next stop -- wherever that might be.He makes it crystal clear -- we have a saying clarity of purpose -- he makes it very clear what your role is what your job is and what overall the organizations mission is, Schiano said. And then he creates a real urgency to get that done.There are already five schools in FBS looking for a head coach, three at the Power Five level (LSU, Baylor and Purdue). Unless some openings create a trickle down of more vacancies the market is not likely to be as active as last season, when 26 schools hired new coaches.Columbus could be more than just a quick detour for Schiano. He said thats OK because it is making him a better coach.At 50 years old you say, well Ive done this, but theres some many things that if I ever do it again as a head coach that I will incorporate into what I do, Schiano said. And I think weve done a lot of good stuff over the years, but I think meshing the two together will be really powerful.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
